The Future of Phones in the World Mobile Congress
The WMC or World Mobile Congress refers to two different, but heavily associated things. The first is a body of constituents that have been united for a common goal. Founded by the Delson Group Inc. and currently has ties to many manufacturers in China. This group aims to further improve the current mobile technologies by integrating new technology when possible. The combined resources of the group are aimed to fund research and development of even better mobile phone technology.
Criticisms of the World Mobile Congress
While the World Mobile Congress may hold a lot of promises for mobile phone technology, there are still a lot of issues that prevent it from becoming a solid group that mobile phone manufacturers can trust. The main issue is the fact that each mobile phone manufacturer has its own development team focused on creating newer and better technologies. To be forced to share these would not only mean a waste of revenue, but it would be akin to handing their marketing techniques directly over to their competitors.
Companies Not Joining In
As stated, many mobile phone manufacturers are saying no to the World Mobile Congress. Industry mainstay Nokia has decided to opt out of WMC and simply use the money they have saved for more research and development functions. Another problem is that smaller companies may choose to copy technologies that have been developed by the larger companies and vice versa. This situation could prove very disadvantageous to larger companies.
WMC as an Event
Aside from being a group, WMC also stands for the event held annually. The exhibits held in this event showcase hundreds of exhibitors and some of the latest models to hit the market. There are displays of upcoming models and some exhibitors even allow people to test-try upcoming models as well.
